Komen Professor of Survivorship Award

Susan G. Komen for the Cure established the Professor of Survivorship Award in 1999 with the goal of advancing research and awareness on the issues surrounding long-term survivorship of breast cancer. Professor of Survivorship awards will be made to individuals who have made significant contributions in the field of breast cancer survivorship. A committee of peers and survivors will choose this honoree. The Survivorship Professor will continue in their role at his/her institution and continue his/her practice and research but will be expected to impact the issues encountered by breast cancer survivors by advancing research and education of these issues through publications and presentations.

A maximum of two awards will be made annually, and each award will include a gift of $20,000 for use in advancing breast cancer survivorship at the discretion of the professor. No institutional overhead will be allowed.
